PRACTICE AREAS
BANKRUPTCY
Despite the abundance of media attention directed towards the bankruptcy law changes that took effect October 17, 2005, the debt relief offered through bankruptcy has not been significantly altered and is still available.
A guardianship is sometimes a necessary proceeding when the facts and circumstances warrant it. In some cases, unfortunately a person acting as an attorney-in-fact, healthcare surrogate, or successor trustee might have ulterior motives that cause them to make decisions which are not in the best interest of the individual for whom they are acting.
GUARDIANSHIP
LITIGATION
My litigation practice focuses on real estate, commercial, and probate issues. Real estate litigation often involves issues such as evictions, foreclosures, boundary disputes, and title problems. Commercial litigation most often, but not always, involves a breach of a contract and the collection of a debt.
Probate is the legal process of administering the estate of a deceased person. In Florida, an attorney must be hired to probate an estate. If the value of an estate is less than $75,000 or if the decedent died more than two years ago, a summary proceeding may be used, otherwise, a formal administration is required.
